Girls’ voices are needed to tackle misogyny and the manosphere – but they are being ignored Young people are already very familiar with and dealing with the mundane reality of misogyny in their everyday lives.

"Coverage on online misogyny tends to prioritise the opinions, behaviour and experiences of boys"

@chiarafehr.bsky.social and @jessicaringrose.bsky.social reflect on Emmy Award-winning 'Adolescence' and the importance of centring the voices/experiences of girls.

"Anti-pornography trends have tended to be steeped in conservative values of shame and blame that merely push issues underground rather than help young people develop their digital sexual literacies in ethical ways" says @jessicaringrose.bsky.social

The Supreme Court’s ruling on gender raises serious questions for schools New guidance states schools must not permit trans pupils to use the bathroom of their identified gender, but they still have a duty to safeguard them.

How can schools be more inclusive of LGBTQ+ students?

‪@jessicaringrose.bsky.social recommends schools:
- Provide relationships and sex education that addresses LGBTQ+ identities
- Challenge gender stereotypes and transphobic bullying
- Uphold confidentiality

The Supreme Court’s ruling on gender raises serious questions for schools New guidance states schools must not permit trans pupils to use the bathroom of their identified gender, but they still have a duty to safeguard them.

The Supreme Court decision that the words "man" & "woman" in the Equality Act refer to biological sex has serious implications for schools & uncertainty for the trans pupils they are trying to support.

Our article unpacks the deeply unethical idea to screen #Adolescence in schools. Did anyone think about asking what that might be like for girls?

PART 2: What are the practical implications of the Supreme Court judgment on ‘what is a woman’?

Part 3 on For Women Scotland Supreme Court case: can they appeal to Strasbourg, is it even compliant with Strasbourg case law, is it fair if it is one sided?

The Vagina Museum Board of Trustees response to the UK Supreme Court ruling In light of the UK Supreme Court ruling, the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum wish to express their unequivocal support of and solidarity with their trans staff, volunteers, community partners, visitors and wider audience. From the outset, the Vagina Museum has always been trans inclusive. An important part of its mission around spreading knowledge and raising awareness of gynaecological anatomy and health has been to challenge normative assumptions around our bodies and how they may or may not be connected to experiences of gender, gender expression and broader sexuality. In doing so, we highlight that sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and other characteristics related to sexual identity exist in various different combinations and their relationship to one another is never clear cut. What is clear to us is that everyone, regardless of their body parts, are deserving of human rights, dignity and the power to identity as they wish to.

Just as we act as a forum for women’s reproductive health and rights from a feminist, inclusive and intersectional perspective; we will continue to advocate for trans+, non-binary and queer communities and rights. We cannot talk about feminism unless our feminism includes trans folks. We cannot talk about reproductive rights without trans rights. We cannot advocate for human rights without trans rights. The ruling comes amidst an increasingly frightening climate for trans people in the UK and globally. We will continue to abide by our values, and ensure that the Vagina Museum remains a space in which trans people are included, welcomed and celebrated. In solidarity.

A statement from the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum regarding trans inclusion.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity.

This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power.

Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.
